Finca Las Mercedes – Kenia Honey Microlot
A Rare Salvadoran Mutation with Exceptional Sweetness & Complexity
Grown on the high-altitude slopes of the San Salvador Volcano, this exquisite honey-processed microlot from Finca Las Mercedes is a true testament to El Salvador’s specialty coffee heritage. Cultivated by the Aguilar family, who have been growing coffee for six generations, this unique Kenia variety is believed to be a Salvadoran mutation of the traditional SL Bourbon varieties from Kenya, resulting in a cup with remarkable clarity, balance, and complexity.
Tasting Notes
Expect a beautifully structured cup with a silky body and layered flavors of ripe tropical fruit, honeyed sweetness, and floral undertones. The meticulous Sol-Sombra drying process enhances the coffee’s natural sugars, resulting in a rich, syrupy mouthfeel and a lingering, elegant finish.
